Cheyenne, Dakota and Tahoe
One of the top rated Search and Rescue (SAR) dogs is Dakota, an Am Pit Bull Terrier. Kris Crawford, who has two other pit bulls that are also certified Search and Rescue dogs, owns Dakota. Dakota is so good at what she does that NASA requested Kris and Dakota to assist in the recovery of the Astronauts, after the tragic 2003 shuttle disaster. Kris and Dakota were also involved in the Laci Peterson investigation. Kris and her team have been involved in many cases and have made national news on several occasions. Cheyenne, Dakota and Tahoe, in addition to their work as SAR dogs, are also certified hospital therapy dogs. They can often be seen at pet fairs, shows and schools, informing the public about their work and education about the Pit Bull breed. It is important to Kris to have the girls out educating the public about the true spirit of the Pit Bull and teaching children canine safety, as most fatal dog bite incidents involve children.
Weela
One day while outside in the yard with one of her “kids”, Weela suddenly body-slammed 11-year-old Gary and sent him flying into the yard. Gary’s mom, Lori, who was watching from the window saw the whole thing and was very surprised. Weela had always played so well with the kids, and she quickly rushed out to see why Weela would have done such a rough move given her usually calm, gentle demeanor. It was then she saw a big rattlesnake sink its fangs into Weela’s face, and she immediately understood Weela had saved Gary’s life by pushing him out of the way! Weela’s good deeds did not stop there, a few years later, Weela saved the lives of 30 people, 29 Dogs, 13 horses and 1 cat. Heavy rains caused a damn to break on the Tijuana River. Weela pulled 30 to 50lb loads of food across the river to a tiny island to feed the stranded animals the entire month they were there.
Weezie
One night two armed men broke into Melissa Willis’s home. They pointed a gun at her while her son stood behind her. Weezie, their male pit bull, immediatelycame to the rescue. In addition to growling, barking, snapping and otherwise causing a scene, Weezie placed himself between his family and danger, and with every advance by the men, he pushed his family backwards until they were to the exit. He kept the armed robbers focused on him so his family would be safe.
Oh, there is more... it is just the media reports to feed the fears of those irriational sops that lick up tragedy because of their inability (or laziness) to recognized hype.
If it bleeds it reads... oh, but hey... maybe your just afraid of animals.
If it was one or two instances, bad upbringing makes sense ... bad breed makes more sense when there are too many cases to count.

How about pit hamsters?...
I refuse to believe you're as reality challenged as that statement indicates.
Besides this is a thread about pawsitive stories.
If you're want negative stories, I'm sure you know where to look.
Holy smokes!
It would be better if he contributed the money to organizations formed to pay for the medical bills of people who work at the shelters who are injured by the pit bulls. Or for kids and old ladies who are injured by pit bulls that came out of those shelters and later run loose again. He won’t be liable for that, though, because ol’ NautyMax is like a little girl when it comes to dogs: 100 percent emotion.
If the two of you can’t find any stories about other breeds
killin’ people then there ain’t none out there!!!,,,
>>>Nothing over 6 months old!!!<<<,,,

Hey,Granny,,,I just searched > dog bites 2010 < ,,,

If you want to discuss something else, make a thread about the topic
and if I feel so inclined I'll contribute, but don't hold your breath waiting.
Life is too short to waste my time having a discussion
with an emotional, irrational, screaming foul mouth fantic.
Some folks seem to think it's okay to take a dump on their neighbor's yard
and then get high and mighty when informed it stinks.
Have a good evening!
